Paul Simon - 50 ways to leave your lover

[tobycleo]

"Jim Croce" would have blown this guy out of the water!

[carraldo791]

Kid Cudi didn't sampled this song, he covered it...

[AelronLeyron23]

I love this song..:) and the rythm of the drum..:)

[saganemc2]

This song was #1 the day I was born, 2/21/76. I've loved it for years long before I learned this!

Mrs. Robinson is the one you play when your girlfriend is in the room. If she understands the reference, that'll really get her going! xD

[TroubleKing81]

Amazing blissful melody to this song, really touching. Listen to this song and Pearl Jam Oceans while walking on the beach.

[hotsauce126]

check our kid cudi's version

50 ways to make a record

[JamesInokeDyer]

What lyrics, Beat and Vocals.

One of the best and most original Arists.

[HowRadIsThis]

Paul Simon looks like a jedi in the photo

[durgeone]

[inflictuk]

[CornCob6000]

Baby driver?

[JustAcoolNerd]

[kkforever96]

Great Song!! :P I love Paul Simon!!

[efail]

yes what an awesome piece of music

[SouthsidePrankster]

great piece of music!

[DrummerTjsteen]

I remeber when I first practice the drums on this song, I played it for about 2-3 hours straight I couldnt move arms afterwards lol.

[lilmamina]

woah this song is so good

[algblessed1975]

i love beat to this song very good. hope it doesn't get sampled. he is very handsom

[Kognitive]

Too late, this song has been sampled multiple times by a lot of rappers, listen to Kid Cudi - 50 ways to make a record, good song

[JacknBarbossa]

I love his beat and voice in all his songs.. ^^

[BroughtDaFire]

he has a relaxing voice and tone

[licklolly35]

good tune anything he does is pure magic its relaxing hes a genuis , i remember a epsiode of jame s at 15 tv show, and they danced to thi s tune, its so groovy

[Derek575]

agreed, always thought the chorus was a bit out of a place...not that it's not a cool chorus, it's just at ends with the rest of the song.

[sootsmoker]

totally agree

[HendrixcommaMartin]

Yah, but that's the whole point, they contrast. It's a cool idea.

[mrlatnie]

SUPER CFL AND WLS RADIO CHICAGO!

[TuneTo440]

I understand, but I just wouldn't have done that.

[mrsub360]

luv this song

[trimbla2]

i agree with otherworld, superb song, not sure about a solo though. anyway, thanks for throwing it up!

[TuneTo440]

Haha yeah maybe the solo was a bit too much.

[OtherWorld]

I know you guys will be mad. But I think this could have been legendary and definitely one of the most epic, sad, and beautiful songs ever written if it had a different chorus. The chorus is super cool but it doesn't fit, it takes away from the seriousness of the genius chords and drums and lyrics. I could imagine it with an amazing solo too.

[simonjenkin]

I think one of the best things about this song is the juxtaposition of the melancholic verses and the upbeat pop chorus. It really adds something to the lyrics.

[stevesvenja]

ummm yeah. I like that too.

[IC3K4R33M]

Looks abit like James Blunt.

[tall32guy]

I agree, in a way he does. But this was in the 60's or around there, he looks considerably older now of course. :-)

[MoonwalkerPJ]

everyone is welcome to checkout my rendition of Paul Simon's song on my channel!

- fuzzy soul tiger, Mr. PJ

[MegaGont]

u cant help but dance to the corus !

[kssykssygg]

I love this song and Paul Simon. Music like his and others' from his time just isn't created anymore. Though I'm rather young I only really listen to 60's - 80's music. It's much better than rap and hip hop.

[tarheelgirlie09]

i completley agree

[KINGOSWALD]

There Is alot of fantastic music from every decade, please keep your ear's open :-D

I do agree that there's too much tv/radio bias of rap, etc. It's terrible.

It's not so bad here In the United Kingdom, but close ! :)

[0XOceanX0]

its such a nice song...old...but nice! its like always so cool...this music is still playing in movies...

[EagleBeagle1234]

god playing this song is well it brings me back to some good ol times

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

This song is still great after all these years!

[banterdog]

anyone think he looks incredibly like James Blunt there?

A true great, one of the best singers I have ever heard. I bought an album just before Christmas 2006, and the music made my holiday - it was fresh and vibrant and the lyrics are powerful and emotional

[AugenZuUndDurch]

very nice drums...^^

[kerlymae415]

ey! check out a cover version of this by a band from the philippines... search for 'bamboo 50 ways to leave your lover'... they did one heck of a good job....

[jefarr85]

LOL!!!Pretty much reapeted myself.

[callum444121]

lol! nice. i think ive done that before.

[jefarr85]

Callum 444121:I guess we should stop smoking that weed ;)...Hey I love canada!!! Never been there but you guys with no doubt have the best of the humor...LOVE kids in the hall...

[poolpig]

and michael j. fox and jim carey and........

[jefarr85]

For some reason i find this song to be incredibly sexy...

[jefarr85]

Skickskillet:Yeah i guess i am a faggot,since im a woman,you idiot!

[slickskillet123]

ok, i'm sorry. i think i got

mixed up. i was trying to talk

to someone else. sorry again.

[jefarr85]

For some reason I think this song is incredibly sexy.....

[cytb08]

does he actually give u 50 ways?

[BLAGASPANTS]

He gives ya 4 and half...  and leaves ya to make up the rest.

I come up with with these

murder

shagging her sister

shagging her mum

shagging her pet rabbit to death ( always gets them that one ).

lets cut a long story short... if ya a man, just shag what ever is closest to them.

If ya think of 50 ways, then ya a fucking genius. I shagged my missus's favourite varse just because of this tune, and lets just say she was not to happy when they had to smash it and her dads ashes eruputed

[CuriositysCat]

...

Um.

[CaptainGenocide]

How I laughed :)

[cytb08]

Hahahaha thank ya. well u could pour hot soup in his/her's face and tell em you don't give a shit about em. there are a lot of posibilities

[music1fan2]

Here are the others:

run off with her truck, chuck

Screw his brother Lou, Sue

Make 'er smell your feet, Pete

[notonantidepressants]

lol

[baxmonstertrak]

dont think he has a lover

[cytb08]

good song!

[cpinill]

WOW AMAZING SONG

[JaneyB7]

This is such a great song <3

[tinkslove13]

I love this song! Its really interesting and over a month ago my mother got me into it.

[hishighness11]

very nice track

[GAADNA]

thanks, for your worthwhile comment that the people below you didnt already say

[hishighness11]

i m just saying its a great track, cause paul simon is an amazing artist, like true folk, he was good with art, that was quite the dynamic duo, and i'm thinking sounds of silence with anji, and somewhere they cant find me were great songs, i really like patterns thats probably my favourite, but yeah am goin to start listening to more of solo stuff, thanks for the reply though, oh yeah bookends , parsley sage rosemary and tyme, love the smell, paece

[GAADNA]

ahah i was joking

this song owns.

[zebramans]

amazing.

[carolovessyouu]

this is the coolest,oldest song ever! RACK. summer 2008.

[pogogogogo1980]

a great song.

[RainDog1987]

white man's jive talk, haha, great song though

[magichounddog]

You are part of the problem of the races. I bet you talk to your "hommies" about white people. Yet you'll get all riled if a white person talks about you!

[RainDog1987]

...I'm white... how does that egg on your face feel.

[magichounddog]

Oh you're canadian. That explains your weird way of talking!

Egg on my face? Hahaha!

[dakon1221]

Exelant song. I love oldies. This is so good.

[Darcylishous2222]

this song rocks

[bushoisa]

One of teh best songs over the world

[lamissa11]

You just slip out the back, Jack

Make a new plan, Stan

You don't need to be coy, Roy

Just get yourself free

Hop on the bus, Gus

You don't need to discuss much

Just drop off the key, Lee

And get yourself free

just slip out the back jack

[dakon1221]

Wow. this song is a great one. ITS THE BEST!

[reyquezada]

Good song, Cool

[adamewhite]

this is the definition of a cool song.

[MEEN57]

I fucks wit this song and I'm a hood nigga.My old head put me down wit this.

[henkiskoel]

you so cool

[kasrkinmullet]

WHAT?

[sugarfree133]

u cant say kid cudi is better cause he samples this omg this is really a good song

[hianda]

Dad used to play Paul Simon round the house. I remember the Graceland album being on alot. I'm glad he had broad music taste and we got to hear the stuff we did.

[Raushanya]

I love it!!!!!!

[mharrris623]

I love this song...Paul Simon must be a genius

[vanity7venus7]

i love this song!

[teddibearsworld]

Any song of this done today might have a better beat or whatever, but it would miss the most impotant ingredients.. heart and soul. Nothing does today. I can't even get younger people to deny that.. not genuinely. Anybody can make a rhyme or a beat... but make me feel it..really feel it? Dosen't happen. Not today.

[bouchard1818]

hes not bad looking...

[JesseCPM]

stevee gaddddd

like butter

[bobbypoo24]

This hook is also sampled by a west coast rap/blues singer Pigeon John on a track called Pasion with a rapper called Tapwater. Lovely track....

[dominicocubano]

I didn´t believe i could hear this song again. It was when i very young, almost a kid.

I enjoyed it very much. Thanks.

[dolanrally]

best song by him and you can call me al

[tangoafterdark]

The drum lick is awesome, as expected from a drummer like Gadd. My favourite Paul Simon song is Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, but this is close second.

[DivineLyf]

:D

finally I've missed this.

:3

[TheLurMan1]

I KNEW IT WAS STEVE GADD!!!! I heard it on the radio this is like his paradidlle groove!!

[AmadeusKing]

"Larry the Cable Guy" added new ways to leave your lover in one of his stand-up bits.

I forget what they were, but they were pretty funny.

[2a7e2l91x]

love it

[uvaman555]

then don't listen

[killajuggaloz5]

i was born in 1995 and like 50 and 60s music especcially the beatles

[SenoritaDancer87]

I was born in 1987. And I'm a huge 50's and 60's oldies fan. This happens to be a favorite song of mine. When I hear it I just wanna jump up and dance and sing along :)

[Skornogr4phy]

I heard this for the first time on the radio today. So good.

[ronald4ucla]

Hell Man were have you been??? This Came out in 1976 I was 7yrs old and singing it.But Your its a Cool Song LOL

[WestMinst]

unglaublich schön!

[faustus999]

modern day mozart... paul simon..musical genius

[zekirib]

wow dude bite ur tongue mozart is a revolutionary and a master of music composition, paul simon isnt even a pimple on the the late great mozarts ass

[chrisohrt1]

Really, then why were listening to paul simon, hmm?

[stevesvenja]

My God what an awesome drum lick! Gadd = pure genius!

[sidneywofford]

Great Song! :)

nice video man! love the song 2, it's a classic!
